Porsche 911 Destroyed... for no good reason!

The 2007 Saturn Aura
Heh, the 268 horsepower is SAE-approved. It used to be 280 in the Avalon.

Spied: Japan-Spec Refreshed Subaru Legacy
Yeah, the Legacy is easily one of the "better" midsize family sedans.

Totalled Lucernes
I'm surprised the curtain airbags didn't deploy during that rollover.

Yep. I think in the US, for the most part... Saturn = Opel Chevy cars = Daewoo Pontiac = Holden Cadillac global Buick global Saab global

Top Gear Tests the Z06
If you mean between the radio and run, here it is: H: So the question has to be, have you worked it out yet? C: Yes, I have. The Ferrari costs that much because it works on the track and it works on the road. This only works on a track. H: You said you can't use it on the road... C: No, no, you can use it on the road, legally, you just wouldn't want to. H: Why? C: I'm not joking, driving it home, after filming that, I made a list of all the things that are wrong with it. No, I really have. The driveline shunt, you know when you put your foot down, feels like you're in an accordian, uuughgh, the back has come off. The radio is rubbish. At low revs, the engine, honestly sounds like it's being fueled with spanners. The tire roar is deafening; you can't hear anything. It's too wide, the steering wheel is on the wrong side, the trim is woeful. The ride, could break your back every time you run over anything, the gearbox feels like it came from a tractor... H: All right, can I just say, we've got the message, then. C: No, I'm not joking. As something to live with every day, I would rather have bird flu.

Looking at Camry without driving one
Toyota makes the ES350 in addition to the Camry and Avalon. Similarly, a LaCrosse, Malibu, and Impala make sense in GM's lineup, because they (should) target different markets. Giving Saturn unique products only makes sense because Opel is to stay and their dealer network exists. Saab is Saab. That only leaves Pontiac, but hey, isn't Toyota making a Scion sports sedan?

Top Gear Tests the Z06
Oh, also, they took a BLS for their trip to the radio station. I was pleasantly surprised by how great it looked in "real-world" non-studio footage. It's the best looking sedan in its class, IMO, and I definitely prefer the looks to the CTS.

Top Gear Tests the Z06
I got the impression they loved it and only pointed out the clunky gearbox, cheap interior, plastic body, left-hand drive, and hard ride as something to look out for. A non-Z51 C6 with magnetic shocks and six-speed automatic cures some of those problems.

Top Gear Tests the Z06
What about the bit between the review and the run? :AH-HA_wink: I don't think he has ever made a review without pointing out shortcomings, and this was no exception.

'06 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti and F430 Spider
Thanks for the review. Someone's dad at our school has a red F430 F1 coupe (and Merc SLR, Carrera GT, Stingray 'Vette, and Shelby Cobra...), and I can attest to that amazing (!!!) engine noise, particularly during a 1-2 gear change when it "snorts" from the instant drop in revs. My only beef is that all F430s are inherently uncool, particularly the Spider.

2007 Pontiac G5 (picture)
Meh, personally I think that looks cheesy, particularly on the LaCrosse.

Rebadged Opel Astra will come to U.S at end of '07
If it came summer '07, I'd definitely consider it. End-of-year '07 is quite a wait, though.

2007 Pontiac G5 (picture)
Wow, the steering wheel and new radio makes such a huge difference. The interior looks 10X better than the old Cobalt's.

Honda using Chevys to sell cars?
Our BMW dealer keeps a Gallardo and F430 out in front, too.
